So I'm starting a D&D 5e campaign soon. I will be playing as a halfling bard, who instead of singing will be cooking to boost morale and stuff like that.
I am however pretty new to the whole D&D universe and could use some help with comming up with good recipes to use!
There's no single D&D universe. However if the GM isn't using a premade setting, then the generic western fantasy tropes are your friend, that's what he most likely is going to default to. Then again none of the setting material I can think of focuses on food, so just copy LoTR for your recipes and you'll do just fine.
If you can hang around this thread until 2pm EST, I have a pdf with a table you may find useful.
Make up your own recipes. It'll be great. You'll add to the campaign world. Make sure to add little tidbits. Stuff like "I learned this one from some gnomes who lived by the beach" or "This recipe was taught to me by the one halfling who was named an honorary dwarf".
read Dungeon Meshi
So are you still going to be using the bard's spells in terms if mechanics, they're just going to be replaced with food thematically (so long as your GM is cool this shouldn't be a problem)? Or are you looking to completely redo the bard's magic (not recommended)?
Is it just me or is "cook character who adventures to find more recipes" now Veeky Forums's human male fighter?
I swear everyone plays that shit nowadays, is it Dungeon Meshi's influence or what?
Gotta admit I've never read Dungeon Meshi or even heard of it. I just love cooking myself and thought it could be a fun concept
As previously said, Dungeon Meshi could almost be considered mandatory reading. A Song of Ice And Fire has a lot of food porn if you want to get some more inspiration. I'm sure you could find some recipies and inspiration if you google for [insert time period here] [insert culture here]. Also, the two food pics from Dragon's Crown should be posted here as well.

That's considered camp cooking? Jesus
>The number of sentients in those ingredients
I assume you mean sapients, and in that case I can only count possibly one depending on setting, and that is minotaur.
Myconids are often depicted as sapient.
Oh, I just thought it was just a shroom and not shroom people.
Harpies as well.

One of the oldest jokes in my role-playing experience is food related. We were at some place and my GM goes "If you can think it, they serve it here." So I asked if they had Displacer Beast Surprise. 50 percent miss chance on your plate, and after you eat it, it appears two feet to the left of you for a bit. That was nearly ten years ago come to think of it.

Get the gourmand feat user
Great, now I want a setting based around impossible food made from impossible beasts
There's also A Feast of Ice and Fire, an official book for recipes from A Song of Ice and Fire, if you really want specifics.
Had an NPC in one game who would show up for random lil sidequests on nights we didn't want to do main plot (when one player wasn't there or just wanted something light) who's who deal was he was the gourmet of gourmets and would hire the party to get ingredients like displacer beast tentacle slices or gorgon steaks for his next grand recipe, was pretty fun times.
